About HISMA

Stories that help families live more consciously

HISMA is a storytelling and educational project founded by author Silviu Cotiușcă. Through books, audio, and reflection, it invites children and families to grow in freedom, imagination, and deeper awareness.

Mission

Why HISMA exists

HISMA was created from a simple conviction: the stories children receive shape the beliefs they carry into life. When storytelling is thoughtful, warm, and honest, it can nurture courage, empathy, and inner freedom.

The project brings together illustrated books, audio storytelling, and reflective writing to support families who want more meaningful narratives in everyday life.

What guides the work

Every HISMA story is shaped by values that feel human, grounded, and lasting. The goal is not just to entertain, but to offer children and parents stories that open space for reflection and connection.

Philosophy

A different way to tell stories

HISMA believes stories can do more than pass time. They can help children imagine better possibilities, ask deeper questions, and build a healthier relationship with themselves and the world around them.

That philosophy shapes everything from The Three Little Wolves and the Straw Bale House to future audio experiences, articles, and community initiatives designed to grow with families over time.
